Product Details
Fizik R4 Tempo Overcurve Road Cycling Shoes
The R4 Tempo Overcurve Road Cycling Shoes from Fizik are suitable for a wide range of riders due to their forgiving, stiffness index 7 composite outsole. This moderate stiffness still provides ample support and power transfer for pedalling efficiency but won’t force the foot to hold an unnatural position for long periods.
The PU laminated mesh upper adds to this comfort, as does the asymmetrical construction of the Overcurve design which allows the shoe to mimic the natural shape of the foot around the ankle. BOA IP1 dials give easy fitting with adjustment in small increments and simple mid-ride adjustability.
Pedal Compatibility
These shoes are compatible with road pedal systems utilising the 3-bolt cleat system such as Shimano SPD SL, Look Keo/Blade, Time Atac etc...
Sizing note
Fizik shoes are built with a performance fit: true to size in length but with a narrow, low-volume toe box. Do not size up — it won't solve a width issue. If you have a wider or higher-volume foot, choose the Wide Fit version. If you're unsure whether Fizik suits your foot shape, check our size and fit guide before ordering.

If you have a wider or higher-volume foot, choose the Wide Fit version. If you're unsure whether Fizik suits your foot shape, check our size and fit guide before ordering.
Accurate sizing guidance can be gained by measuring the length of your feet from the back of the heels to the tip of the big toe. This measurement corresponds to the "Foot Length" column in our size chart.

About Fizik
Where the rider meets the bike.
Fizik was founded in Northern Italy with the conviction that the three points of contact between rider and bike — saddle, shoes, handlebar tape — deserve the same engineering focus as the bike itself. Every product is engineered around the rider's body to make the long ride feel shorter.
Fizik's saddle range is organised around the Spine Concept — Bull, Chameleon, Snake — matching saddle shape to rider flexibility. The result is a comfort claim backed by anatomy rather than marketing.
